What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "RAF") to another (referred to as "NEF"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, RAF file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format RAF to format NEF becomes essential.
So, how can we perform RAF to NEF file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format RAF and transforming it into format NEF.
